Booklet of instructions for a model, based on the Renault Midliner with an Edbro demountable body, powered by a Meccano Powerdrive motor protected by an adjustable friction clutch, with a two-speed and reverse gearbox driving an all-pinion differential.
The steering is correctly geared and operated with string, while both axles have leaf spring suspension.
The hydraulic tipping and sliding mechanism used to tip or unload the body are driven from the motor using cord and screwed rod. The internal gearbox attached to the motor is set at a ratio of 6:1 and operates well on only a 7.2v battery pack.
